Bang Bo Crispy Gourami Fish Sauce Rice Plate Eating with Mom But Didn't Film Mom, Watch Me Enjoy It

Hello, I'm mr.hotsia. Today, I'll take you to taste the deliciousness in my hometown, Bang Bo District, Samut Prakan Province, with a dish everyone must praise: “Bang Bo Crispy Gourami Fish Sauce Rice Plate.” A simple dish full of memories and unique flavors.

Bang Bo is famous not only for its crispy gourami fish, renowned nationwide and exported abroad, but it is also my hometown. I grew up by Samrong Canal, the main water source for raising the famous gourami fish. I've witnessed the villagers' way of life connected to the water since childhood, including rice farming, fish raising, and making Bang Bo's unique salted gourami fish.

The crispy gourami fish sauce rice plate I ate with my mom that day wasn't just crispy fried gourami topped with flavorful fish sauce; it carried the warmth of family and simple rural life I want everyone to experience. The special thing about Bang Bo gourami is its plumpness and firm flesh because the brackish water here supports the growth of red worms, a premium food for gourami, making the fish raised in canals and ponds around the rice fields famous and delicious beyond compare.

On the day I ate that rice plate, my mom prepared crispy fried gourami topped with sweet fish sauce made mainly from salted gourami. The fish sauce here is unique with a balanced sweet and salty flavor. The fried gourami is crispy outside and tender inside, eaten with hot steamed rice cooked with water from Bang Bo rice fields, enhancing the flavor so much that I hardly wanted to put down my spoon.

Many might wonder, “Why didn't you film your mom while eating with her?” I must say my family is simple and doesn't like taking photos during meals. But if you want to see how much I enjoyed it, just click to watch.This clipSure, I sincerely conveyed the feelings I had eating this rice plate.

Traditional Lifestyle and Old Market in the Community

To talk about Bang Bo's origins, we must look back at the villagers' lifestyle along Samrong Canal, where the waterway is the community's lifeline. I recommend stopping by to visit.150-Year-Old Bang Phli Old MarketThis is an ancient market that still preserves traditional wooden shops. The stores here sell everything like an old-fashioned supermarket, from food and daily necessities to cloth and traditional herbal medicine.

This old market reflects a lifestyle relying on water and boats, just like in my home in Bang Bo, where villagers originally used boats to travel and shop at the canal-side market. This feeling is very warm and simple, which I think city people nowadays would want to recall and experience at least once in their lives.

I've written about Bang Bo crispy gourami fish several times on my website, such asBang Bo Crispy Gourami FishandBang Bo Crispy Gourami Fishwhich tell the story from the source to the fish farming methods that produce the plump gourami everyone loves.

Bang Bo gourami fish isn't just ordinarily delicious because it feeds on red worms in the brackish water where the fish live. I remember well from childhood that my family had fish ponds around the rice fields called “tin na,” the lowest ponds in the area, allowing gourami to swim and feed naturally.

These gourami fish are caught to be fried crispy or made into fermented fish, both highly demanded nationwide. I grew up with the fragrant smell of fried gourami my mom made every time I returned home.
